The Department Store has had mixed fortunes in recent years. Some major names have exited the market while some continue to struggle. However, there are also those who are thriving in the post-pandemic era \u2013 and in the case of our beloved M&S are reviving in the most positive way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So what is it that is separates a successful department store from a struggling department store? It\u2019s the same that it had always been, a good experience. The difference these days, however, is that good experience has to run across a multitude of different channels from the store to the website to the app to the social media. Every touch point needs to be on point and they all need to inter-connect.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shopping platform Klarna doesn\u2019t just support and enhance shopping via e-commerce, which is perhaps what it is best known for, but can also drive business in your stores and your virtual shopping channels.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In-store<\/b><\/h3>\n

By offering the same flexible payments options in-store as they do online, retailers can boost the purchasing power of in-store shoppers. Klarna\u2019s data shows that on average the order value from an in-store customer using its payment option is 118% higher than one who does not.<\/strong> It is perhaps not surprising then than more than 79,000\u00a0 physical stores are now offering Klarna.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s more there are more than 150million global shoppers using Klarna, and they can be driven to shop at a retailer\u2019s physical store via its<\/span> in-app map search and through location-based alerts. All the information needed, from opening times to offers and addresses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once in-store, customers can enjoy the same enhanced product information they can read on your website by scanning a barcode to access data such as with popularity and carbon footprint or background on craftsmanship behind the manufacturing process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Virtual Shopping<\/b><\/h3>\n

One of the big benefits of shopping in-store is the ability to speak to a sales associate for personal advice and assistance. The standard of service in department stores is renowned for being industry-leading and via Klarna, retailers can bring that same experience to customers shopping virtually.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than 200 brands globally are already using Klarna\u2019s Virtual Shopping service to allow them to connect in-store experts to customers to offer advice and inspiration via Messaging and Video Chat.<\/span><\/p>\n

This approach can supercharge the average order value with virtual shoppers spending on average 16% more and order conversion is increased by 34X.<\/strong><\/p>\n
